A fun article from Bloomberg on Heirlooms (link below). Heirloom is on my mind, as a server at a very popular Bardstown Road white tablecloth establishment today told me my sandwich would come with "hair-loom" tomatoes. Oh, boy ....

Thanks for the "hair-loom" post and book review link, TP.

My ears perked up when this radio story about heirloom tomatoes was aired last night on WFPL- 89.3
(Text, images, excerpt from the book 'Heirloom' and 5 minute audio from NPR: All Things Considered)
Tim Stark stumbled into growing heirloom tomatoes, but now he sells to the top New York City restaurants.
